Chapter 1233 Trapped

It takes a genius to remember the address of this website in one second: [Aidou Reading] The fastest update! No ads!

"I see," Nightingale thought for a while, "compared to building a complete railway, it is much easier to lay a hard road between two unconnected rivers. And building the railway cannot do without Anna and skilled Workers, but anyone can build ordinary roads, even those newly arrived migrants can do the job. In this way, we can save a lot of time!"

"Yes, this is another advantage of it," Roland praised. "As long as it is planned properly, the logistical pressure can be relieved in a month or two at most, which is of great significance to us who are racing against time. It seems that you can occasionally Think of the crux of the problem."

"Hehe, of course... that's not right," Nightingale's lips that had just raised were quickly lowered, "What do you mean by chance! As long as you think about it seriously, I can do it too - whether it's helping you with official business, or... To cope with the exam..."

Although she spoke confidently, her voice in the second half of the sentence was obviously lower than the first half.

Roland couldn't help but chuckle.

Perhaps for Nightingale, the prerequisite for thinking seriously is not to fall asleep first.

He turned his attention back to the map on the table. If he wanted to connect the waterway between Graycastle and Dawn, the fastest way would be to build a road directly to Yongye City at the eastern turning point of the Chishui River, and then go all the way north. Through the windward collar of the morning sun, it is connected to the shining river of the neighboring country.

This river originates from the Hermes Plateau, and its main channel is divided into three parts in the old provincial city. Two of its wide tributaries traverse the country from north to south, and finally merge into the sea. In order to further utilize shipping resources, the Moya family opened three east-west canals over the past century, which is equivalent to adding three more horizontal lines to the two herringbone tributaries. This move greatly facilitated the commercial circulation in Chenxi and also provided a Roland provided a shortcut.

Crossing from the Shining River to the Mobei River, and then building a road directly to Congshan Mountain, the two places thousands of miles apart will have a "dedicated passage." Compared with the extremely expensive railway line, this plan only requires the construction of two sections of hard roads, totaling less than 200 kilometers, and three supporting loading and unloading docks.

Considering the destructive power of trucks on the road surface, if the road is paved with lotus seeds and workers sprinkle gravel to compact it, it will not take long for maintenance and repairs to be sent out, and it will disintegrate even faster when it encounters heavy rain. Therefore, Roland planned to get it right in one step, using cement-stabilized sand as the hardened layer, with the same specifications as the roads in Neverwinter City.

Cement is no longer a rare thing in Neverwinter City today, but transporting it all the way to Dawn is still a time-consuming and labor-intensive matter. Rather than wasting transportation capacity, it is more convenient to produce on-site.

After sorting out the drawings, Roland wrote a letter to the acting king of the neighboring country, Andrea's father, Howard Quinn.

He decided to dispatch some technical personnel to Glow City to teach the cement calcining formula and steam paddle steamer assembly technology to the three major families in the royal capital, so that they could build factories and repair roads to share the pressure on Neverwinter City.

He believed that those nobles would be able to see the potential and value of cement.

With these two technologies, Chenxi’s domestic transportation can be solved by themselves.

As for the steam engine itself, it is still provided by Neverwinter City - it is not that he is reluctant to pass on the core technology, but except for Neverwinter, other cities have no industrial base at all. It is meaningless to have technology but raw materials still need to be transported. It's better to just send the finished product over.

Roland wasn't worried at all that the other party would go against his will or fail to do his job. If the red mist has really appeared on the top of the Desperate Mountains, Horford should hear the relevant news soon. By then, he will naturally know what to do is a wise choice.

…

Two days later, Roland witnessed the arrival of the first batch of immigrants at the top of the Miracle Building.

The long fleet of boats has almost no end in sight, and the black and white smoke columns seem to form a high wall perpendicular to the river bank. Thick crowds stepped onto the trestle and entered the pier under the guidance of police. There was a rush of people beside the Chishui River, and colorful heads filled all the open spaces.

"Fifty thousand people... you are equivalent to evacuating an entire city, Your Majesty." Barov sighed with mixed joy, "I never thought that I would see tens of thousands of people in the city of Graycastle before. Wolfheart or Eternal Winter Man. If this trend continues, I am not worried about the annual growth target of 200,000 at all now, but I am worried about your treasury."

"There are also security and management issues," Chief Knight Carter also said with a worried expression. "I'm afraid these outsiders know very little about your reputation. For the safety of the inner city, I suggest that they be isolated in a specific area. It’s easier to control that way.”

"That way they will never integrate into Graycastle." Roland shook his head. "If the police department is short of people, go to Barov for them. Those who break the law will be severely punished, those who do outstanding work will be rewarded, and those who refuse to change will be sent to the mines - what I need Workers, not a bunch of guarded slaves.”

There is no doubt that the influx of a large number of foreign people will significantly reduce the security environment of the royal capital. This is also one of the inevitable side effects of the rough population introduction plan. If he had enough time, he wouldn't want to do it. But what is lacking most now is time. Even if the plan has various hidden dangers, he must implement it.

After all, these side effects pale in comparison to the benefits of population growth.

For example, as long as 10,000 of the first 50,000 people join the factory, the existing ordnance production scale can be doubled, which means that the front line can obtain more weapons and ammunition, or other new equipment.

At this moment, the manpower and technology are ready, and he can officially start a new generation project based on the Rubik's Cube power unit.

Where... is this?

When Vakiris woke up again, she found herself lying in a snow-white house, and both the ceiling and the walls were dazzlingly bright. A strange instrument beside him kept making a monotonous beeping sound, like some kind of timing device. A bag of transparent liquid hung above its head, dripping slowly through the pipe. It noticed that the liquid seemed to be continuously flowing into its body.

A large amount of unfamiliar information floods into the mind, making it difficult for it to respond effectively. There are sights everywhere that you have never seen before, or even if you have seen some things, it is difficult to connect them with the images in your memory.

For example, the white short coat on his body has stitches as fine as hair, which is completely different from any clothes he has seen before.

It closed its eyes and focused its attention on itself - no matter how strange it was, everything in its eyes was just a foreign object. Since it was in a strange and strange place, the only thing it could rely on was its own powerful ability.

Then Vakiris's heart sank suddenly.

It discovers that this body does not belong to it at all.

Although it looks exactly the same, all the magic stones embedded in the body are gone. If this happens, it should die immediately.

But now, it doesn't feel any discomfort.

The magic power was still slowly flowing through its body - in an unheard of way.

At the same time, it no longer feels the whispers of consciousness.

No matter how Vakiris concentrated her energy, or even lowered her face to call the Lord of the Sky, she received no response.

This means that it is trapped here.
